AMERICAN MEDIA NOT TELLING TRUTH ABOUT SYRIA: KISSINGER
June 27, 2013 - 09:45 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger
says the American media are not telling the truth about the current
situation in Syria, according to Press TV.
"In the American press it's described as a conflict between democracy
and a dictator- and the dictator is killing his own people, and
we've got to punish him. But that's not what's going on," he said
during a speech at the Ford School of Public Policy at the University
of Michigan.
"It is now a civil war between sectarian groups," Kissinger added.
Kissinger's remarks come as the United States has been criticized
for fomenting sectarian discord in Syria and the broader Middle
East by interfering in the nations' internal affairs and backing
up insurgencies.
Elsewhere in his remarks Kissinger said "the outcome I would prefer
to see" in Syria was a broken-up and balkanized country with "more
or less autonomous regions."
U.S. President Barack Obama has authorized sending weapons to
foreign-backed militants in Syria, further escalating the conflict in
the Arab country. The White House earlier accused the Syrian government
of using chemical weapons against the militants, an allegation denied
by Damascus.
